The 7 series FPGAs Transceivers Wizard provides a quick way to simulate and observe the behavior of the wrapper using the provided example design and script files.
To simulate simplex designs, the SIMPLEX_PARTNER environment variable should be set to the path of the complementary core generated to test the simplex design. For example, if a design is generated with RX OFF, a simplex partner design with RX enabled is needed to simulate the device under test (DUT). The SIMPLEX_PARTNER environment variable should be set to the path of the RX enabled design. The name of the simplex partner should be the same as the name of the DUT with a prefix of tx or rx as applicable. In the current example, the name of the simplex partner design would be prefixed with rx.
